When I need you 
 I just close my eyes and I'm with you 
 And all that I so want to give you 
 Is only a heartbeat away 

 When I need love 
 I hold out my hands and I touch love 
 I never knew there was so much love 
 Keeping me warm night and day 

 Miles and miles of empty space in between us 
 The telephone can't take the place of your smile 
 But you know I won't be travelling forever 
 It's cold out 
 So hold out 
 And do like I do 

 When I need you 
 I just close my eyes and I'm with you 
 And all that I so want to give you 
 Is only a heartbeat away 

 It's not easy when the road is your driver 
 Honey that's a heavy load that we bear 
 But you know I won't be travelling a lifetime 
 It's cold out 
 So hold out 
 And do like I do 
 When I need you 

 When I need love 
 I hold out my hands and I touch love 
 I never knew there was so much love 
 Keeping me warm night and day 

 When I need you 
 I just close my eyes 
 And you're right by my side 
 Keeping me warm night and day 
 I just hold out my hand 
 Hold out my hand 
 And I'm with you 
 All I wanna give you 
 Is only a heartbeat away 
 When I need you
